PROF. HUNT VISITS
BOX BUTTE COUNTY
Now on Editorial Staff of Twentieth
Century Farmer and Doing
Good Work for Farmer
WARM FRIENDS IN ALLIANCE
I'n.r K W. Hunt arrived in Alli
ance last Thursday and remained a
few days in this county making some
investigations in the Interest of sci
entific agriculture. He is well known
thruout the west as one of the
leading lecturers on farm subjects,
and has many friends in llox Hnt.te
county, where he conducted a few
years ago a line of agricultural ex
perimentation that had not been
tried before but which has bead ex
tensively nncl successfully followed
by others since being introduced by
him.
Prof. Hunt's plan of conilu.ting
scientific agriculture by farmers on
their own farms, under the instruc
tion of a competent instructor, who
would conduct the same by farm to
farm visitation, was projected about
four years ago. In January or Kebru
ary, limit, he visited Alliance, being
one of the la Hirers at the- fanners'
institute held here at that time In
his lectures he expressed the belief
that a system of farming could be
followed in this country that would
make it a veritable garden. So en
thusiastic was he, and so clearly
did he present the reasons for his
belief, that the interest of business
men as well as farmers was enlist
ed. One of the business men who
became interested was C. A. New
berry, who offered to pay the ex
penses of a season's experimenta
tion, if Prof. Hunt would agree to
return to Alliance in the spring and
Conduct the same, and if a suffi
dent number of farni r; would auree
to farm a few aCW under his in
structions to make the undertaking
a success.
Readers of The Herald at that
time are familiar with what was
done. This paper became the offi-
I clal organ, so to speak, of the en
terprise, and devoted much spac B to
